Hi everyone. I'm 46 years young and have finally made the decision to buy a new vehicle. My upbringing has always told me to buy used American made vehicles and just do that for the rest of my life because once you drive a new car off the lot, it depreciates at an incredible rate and your not doing the American economy any good if you buy foreign made. Well, I defied my well intentioned past and bought my new Taco about three months ago with only 5 miles on the odometer.

It drives really great and I have no issues with it except it lacks a few minor things like heated side mirrors and under dash courtesy lamps. (us older folks like the extra lighting, lol)

Hope to cya all online and perhaps chat a bit about the mods that you can do with the Tacos. I'm excited about things like HALO rings for the fogs and the new TRD Super Charger. I've been reading up on the forums for the last few days so I'm sorta up to speed on TW.

Welcome bruce, take a look of this picture, you may get back a little bit in time and modify your under the hood appearance... these are from the junkyard (General Motors transplant)... hope you find it positive:

Hey Bruce, take a look of this GM (General Motors) transplant from a junkyard, these are tilt light that are standard on all GM trucks and SUV's, hope you find them appropriate for a modification of your own.

You read me like a book mvega, how did u know I was (note: WAS) a GMC guy? However, not all GMC's did. I must be behind the times because both my '85 GMC S15 Sierra Classic P/U that I bought in 1990 and my '96 GMC Jimmy that I bought in 2000 (which I still own), neither one had those lights.

Really cool pick though. Nicely outfitted, hopefully they can be used someday to show off something like a new TRD Super Charger at night (wishful thinking, I know!)

I will recommend this mode, it will be there once you need it and is pretty simple to install... No push pin for the hood, no earth cable (if desired) only a direct cable to the light (and if desired an in-line fuse between them).

Hi, Bruce
That sounds like me, I also defied my past but have not been sorry!!

Yeah, heated mirrors would really come in handy. I have my eye on the Muth heated signal mirrors, maybe by next winter...
